The conference concluded with the approval of the 2027 World Anti-Doping Code and International Standards by WADA's governing bodies, the Foundation Board and the Executive Committee. The "Busan Declaration", which emphasized the importance of clean sport and called on all stakeholders involved in anti-doping to cooperate effectively and support athletes, was also adopted.
The new rules will cover areas such as the list of prohibited substances, therapeutic use exemptions, doping control procedures, results processing and data protection. The new World Anti-Doping Code will enter into force on January 1, 2027 and will be valid until 2033.
